A five-piece folk-funk-fusion band playing radical contemporary folk with reggae influences. They combine solid traditional acoustic instruments and songs with the added oomph of a superbly tight rhythm section, making a unique and captivating sound. Energetic fiddle and passionate, distinctive vocals with driven punchy tunes and songs, drum and bass grooves, the odd touch of ska. Winners of Best Live Act BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2009.

Tír Na Nóg

Leo O'Kelly & Sonny Condell are widely regarded as one of the most influential songwriting & performing groups to have emerged from Ireland. The legendary John Peel was one of their early champions, featuring them on many of his famed "Peel Sessions". They toured the world in the '70s with Jethro Tull, Procol Harum & Roxy Music among others. With the recent upsurge of interest in progressive (psychedelic or acid) folk, as their music is often catgorised, they have once again become the mentors of many young bands and fans worldwide.
